Best blurays to pick up while in South-Korea!?

Post by Yi-Long »

Hi guys, long time no see. Been in Hong Kong the last 11 months orso, but heading out for a couple of days in South Korea (Seoul).

Planning to pick up a DVD/BR for My Sassy Girl, the Director's Cut (only version with original music), and MAYBE The Good, the Bad and The Weird, considering it's the only version with the original ending.

Any other good/great movies that are worth picking up while I'm there, where the Korean release is the only release with original music/cut/whatever!?

Any good recent stuff I might have missed!?

Hi Grim, missed you!

I'm OK. A bit weak and sick at the moment, but working at that. Girlfriend wanted to visit Korea, so here we are :) How are you, and how's the board been!? Missed any hissyfits from Brad, or dirty Japanese girl-stories from Hung!?

Hi Yi. Come to Japan! I'll introduce you to some high school girls!

(no, I don't know about Korean releases. Sorry)

High School Girls!? Hmmmm.... I don't know... I'm only 37.... I'm afraid high school girls would be too old and mature for me....

That's how most Japanese men feel, too. You'll fit in just fine :)

Memories of Murder hasn't had a decent release!? I thought the German/Dutch DVD was OK!?

I don't know about Xmas in August, but I was in a huge bookstore today that also sold DVDs and BluRays, but the movies I wanted weren't in stock. I asked for Musa cause the Korean release should have the Director's Cut, but sadly, also not in stock. :(

Ended up not buying anything. Might go back there tomorrow for farewell to my Concubine, Korean DVD, if it's any good.

I should've clarified that I'm talking about Blu-rays (tmk they're only available in HD in Korea, but both releases have Eng subs), didn't realise you were after DVD suggestions as well!

Yeah, mostly after blurays ... :)

Anyway, I'm back in HK, not having been able to pick up anything in Korea. Sadly, not a lot of BR's/DVD's being sold there in stores.

Will probably pick up Silenced, Always, and a couple of other BR's here in Hong Kong, and perhaps Japanese 'Confessions'.
